You don’t always happen to run into the perfect joint venture partner, investor or someone who can best answer your questions. Use this web forum as a targeted networking tool - just scroll through the topics and find one that best fits your inquiry.

I'm actively promoting this forum again, after a long hiatus, so we should be seeing more activity and more members. Please do post to help gain some momentum.

WHEN YOU POST, EVERY MEMBER WILL GET A DAILY EMAIL WITH THE PREVIOUS DAY'S POSTS. BE SURE TO REGISTER, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT POSTING AT THIS TIME, SO THAT YOU GET THE DAILY DIGEST.

We now have a resident legal expert on the RR! Phil Scolieri has been practicing law since 1984. During his 25-year career, he has concentrated in the areas of real estate, construction and business law — with a particular focus on financing for private and commercial projects. Post your questions for Phil here.

This is the place to post general real estate questions, whether you're new to the real estate scene, or a seasoned investor. If you've got answers, please go ahead and share your experience and expertise, even if a question has already been answered. It's great to have several perspectives for each question. Plus, thoughtful, well informed answers establish you as an expert in the real estate community, which is great publicity and will encourage other investors to do business with you.

If you're interested in high yielding investments backed by real estate, post here to offer private lending. Because it's illegal to solicit for investors (if you're not registered with the SEC), please don't solicit for investors in this forum.

Are you great at putting deals together, but need help using technology to streamline your biz? Are you an electrician willing to share your skills with a plumber? What are your needs? What skills or work are you willing to exchange?

Are you still in the learning stages in your real estate career, or do you just strive to keep learning and adding to your real estate repertoire? Do you have any expensive RE courses sitting on the shelf collecting dust? Why not share them with someone who has a different course to share with you? And while you're at it, why not work through the course together? With mutual support, brainstorming, and sharing resources, everybody wins.

Got a great course that helped you take the plunge into your real estate career? Or a very lame course that was a serious waste of your time and money? Please do share your experiences here, and read other people's reviews.

If you feel like you would benefit from working with a more experienced investor who can help you with your deals, post here. Please be sure to say what you can offer in exchange (time, skills, expertise, etc.). Are you a successful and experienced real estate investor, who feels like you would like to share some of your experience and expertise? Find someone to mentor here.

Ever been burned by a construction contractor? This problem is so common, because they know they can get on Craigslist the next day, and do it again. There's no accountability, or effective system for property owners to warn each other. If you've had a bad experience, share it here, to warn others. And please do reply to a post, and add your input if you've had a bad experience with the same contractor.
